Delaware State Police have identified the 17-year-old boy shot dead Sunday morning during an unauthorized car meet as Aaizeem Korden-Brown.
Korden-Brown was one of two people shot during the car meet located at the Delaware Logistics Center at 2421 Bear Corbitt Road near Red Lion. While the teen died after being shot multiple times, police said a 21-year-old man survived the incident with a gunshot wound to the foot.
